The Singapore Mental Capacity Act 2008 (2020 Rev Ed) (“MCA”), enacted in 2008 and implemented in 2010, celebrates 15 years as a vital part of Singapore’s legal landscape. The MCA establishes a framework for making decisions on behalf of individuals aged 21 and above who lack mental capacity, safeguarding their welfare and interests. Although modelled after its English counterpart, the MCA has since evolved through local developments to address Singapore’s unique societal and legal context.

With Singapore navigating the challenges of an ageing population and working towards building a more inclusive society for individuals with mental disabilities, it is increasingly important for practitioners and policymakers to appreciate the MCA’s provisions and applications.

Jointly written by a team of legal experts drawing on their diverse experiences in the judiciary, practice, and academia, this book offers interested readers a practical and in-depth commentary on the MCA.

As with the 1st Edition, this 2nd Edition examines the law relating to arbitral awards from two perspectives: awards resulting from arbitrations that are seated in Singapore and awards made elsewhere that are being enforced in Singapore. Since the 1st Edition was published, Singapore has become a top choice for place of arbitration. The volume of cases arriving before Singapore courts enabled many principles of arbitration to be debated and judicially articulated. Jurisprudence from Singapore courts is closely studied in other countries. Likewise, the Singapore judiciary carefully considers case law from other jurisdictions when faced with legal conundrums. This reciprocal influence is largely driven by the confluence of arbitration laws underpinned by the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards 1958 and the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration, 1985 (amended 2006). This is especially so with regard to enforcement and challenges to arbitral awards, which are core topics in this book.

For this reason, the 1st Edition had been cited not only by the Singapore Supreme Court but also courts in jurisdictions from Australia to Brazil. Hence, this 2nd Edition should be of interest to all who have an interest in arbitration, whether in Singapore or elsewhere.

How have Singapore’s courts navigated the evolving and often contentious landscape of division of matrimonial assets upon divorce? Through an extensive empirical study of matrimonial cases in Singapore, this monograph offers fresh insights into the historical and jurisprudential development of the division of matrimonial assets in its courts. It examines how legal reforms – from the Women’s Charter amendments in 1980 and 1996 to the “structured approach” introduced in ANJ v ANK (2015) – have influenced judicial practices in this area of Singapore family law. By drawing on comprehensive datasets on local matrimonial cases, it proposes a principled methodology for equitable asset division grounded in partnership law principles. Essential reading for family law judges and practitioners, policymakers, and social workers, this work is a key resource for stakeholders in the family law community in Singapore.
